If flag & ETO_CLIPPED is true then the following parameters are...
<table border=1>
<TR>
<TD>U16</TD>

<TD>Value</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>4</TD>
<TD>x1</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>5</TD>
<TD>y1</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>6</TD>
<TD>x2</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>7</TD>
<TD>y2</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

In either case the next parameters are

<table border=1>
<TR>
<TD>U16</TD>

<TD>Value</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>next parameter, for a count of parameter[2]/2</TD>
<TD>two chars of the string</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

There may be extra parameters after the end of the string , this
array is known as lpDx and each element is the extra distance
from one character to the next.
<table border=1>
<TR>
<TD>U16</TD>

<TD>Value</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>each next parameter, until the end of the record</TD>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

count is the number of characters in the string, as each char is only a 8bit
number, two chars exist in each 16bit parameter entry.<br>
flag is one or both of ETO_OPAQUE and ETO_CLIPPED, the first means that the
background of the box that the text is typed in is OPAQUE, and the usual
opaque rules apply, (<a href="SetBkMode.html">SetBkMode</a>. The second means
that the text is clipped to the rectangle supplied.
x1, y1, x2 and y2, are the points of the optional clipping rectangle, included if
flags has ETO_CLIPPED set<br>
Then the string follows, and then there is an optional array of widths, each
16bit width is the distance from one character to the next.
